The steel-string member of the Escape family.

The Escape MK-II is the most sophisticated full-scale acoustic/electric travel guitar on the market. Features include an ergonomic body co-designed by John Carruthers, a full 25 ½”-scale neck, and an L.R. Baggs Custom Element-Hybrid pickup system with onboard headphone preamp so you can plug headphones directly into the guitar and Play Anywhere. The MK-II comes with a deluxe gig bag and fits in airline overhead compartments.

This is very well made. At this price point I was a little surprised. I figured it would have some jagged frets, but not so. The neck is smooth and comfortable. String spacing at the nut is generous, probably close to 1 3/4". Just right for fingerstyle. The guitar is very comfortable to play too. I find that I play it at home a lot more than my full sized acoustic, just because it is comfortable to play while in a chair. Headphone amp sounds great, although I don't use the phones that come with the guitar. The tuners seem a bit awkward, but they are pretty good quality and actually pretty easy to use. If you're looking for a decent all around guitar to practice or travel with, check this one out.
